The University of Oklahoma chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity became the focus of outrage on Monday as a result of the online posting of a video that shows its members celebrating the chapter’s exclusion of African-American men in a song containing a racial slur and lynching reference. The video, leaked to the university’s student newspaper, prompted the fraternity’s national organization to disband the Oklahoma campus chapter and David L. Boren, the university’s president, to order the fraternity’s house on the campus immediately closed. Among those who have watched the video is Nolan L. Cabrera, an assistant professor of higher education at the University of Arizona who has conducted several studies in which he interviewed white male college students about their thoughts on race. The Chronicle interviewed him to see how the incident fits in with his findings.
